Date night

Pricer and I have been together for about 7 yrs. The majority of all these years were spent juggling work, school, and our relationship. It was a lot of work but, I think, in the end made us stronger. But here we are out of school and we slipped into the routine of going home and lounging around. We do plenty of things, we are almost always too busy for our own good, but it seems the dating part of our relationship started to slipped.

Well, tonight we went to an event and after a few rapid fire drinks, and not enough food to compensate, we headed over a few blocks to get some dinner.

An impulse brought us to a hot dog place. Nothing special. Just a $12 dinner. But it was perfect. We had a chance to talk, to interact across from each other, instead of sitting on the sofa while eating dinner. The dinner was not filled with heavy anticipation, or cost, to make it a big deal and stress us out. It was relaxed and fun. We talked about all random things, including twitter which had me laughing to much that I was crying.

It makes me realize that we just need to take a bit of time to get off the sofa and have fun because it’s always worth it. We are worth it.

What do you do on date night?

Aww, so sweet! The husband and I haven’t been out alone since we moved away from our family. Kind of sucks sometimes. I keep saying I’m going to start doing monthly “fancy” dinners after the kids are in bed but it never happens.

Date nights are the best! When I get a weekend night free (which seems very few and far between lately) we usually head over to NJ for a Devil’s game and then stop at Rutt’s Hut afterwords. Deep fried hot dogs are the best!

Date night? What the hell is that? lol When the kids are older we’ll be able to try that but no friends or family close enough for it to really work well. It’d have to be like a once a month thing at most – if that. SIGH! I’m jealous and yes I still totally want the fries.
